I enjoy working on mine just as much as driving.
I think most of the guys here enjoy bragging to each other about how much MONEY they spent having some one ELSE wok on their car, bragging to each other about how much HP they THINK they have, and then driving like GRANNY back to the garage to put another coat of WAX on it.

Very good question. I became disabled about 5 yrs ago (accident) and had to retire early. I always had a project of some sort. The last was a 69 SS 396 Chevelle that I loved working on. Since my accident I haven't been able to work on anything.
I bought the c5 about a month ago and enjoy finding something to work on. I modified the air intake box a bit and that got me started. I changed my plug wires and re gapped the plugs. It took me about 4 hrs and I was hurting afterwards but I loved it. Simple jobs are not so simple to me and it may seem trivial to some but to me I accomplished something I thought I would never do again......I loved it....... Driving is fun but I would say working on it is my therapy.

Being a full time mechanic also, I found it difficult working on cars all day, then working on mine after hours. I surely enjoyed driving the Vette home though. best part of the day

I don't do a lot of repairs, but I love to clean it.Having my own bussiness with presures, I find this cleanning time better than drugs, alcohol, or a shrink.My wife can never find the q tips or old towels, sometime new ones if she is not looking.
